Answer 1

History > Revolutionary period and statehood
“The shot heard round the world” initiated a new order in Massachusetts and her sister provinces. The struggle had actually begun several years earlier, when a new spirit grew out of years of physical struggle and radical ideas involving such concepts as equality, freedom, and unity. Events in Boston—the fight against the writs of assistance, the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party and resulting closure of the port of Boston, the Battles of Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, and the evacuation of the British troops from Boston—inspired song and verse that came to typify the spirit of the Revolutionary era. Agrarian unrest in 1786–87 resulted in the only military threat to the new commonwealth. Governor James Bowdoin was forced to call out a special state army of 4,400 men to suppress Shays's Rebellion. The unrest and fear generated by the armed insurrection probably helped advance support for the ratification of the new U.S. Constitution. A year later, in 1788, Massachusetts became the sixth state to ratify the Constitution.

Massachusetts was in the forefront of the Industrial Revolution, and the resulting changes guaranteed that by the mid-19th century the state would be vastly different from its colonial antecedents. A decline in agricultural lands fostered both a migration away from Massachusetts and the development of large-scale manufacturing enterprises producing textiles, shoes, and machinery. The rural outlook of the state was lost with the rise of a number of urban areas, connected by turnpikes, canals, and, later, railroads. The shattering of ethnic and religious homogeneity through immigrant migration, especially the arrival of the Irish, accentuated these changes. Property requirements were removed for voters, the Congregational church was disestablished, black Massachusetts regiments fought in the American Civil War, and Irish politicians began to be elected to public office. The population of Massachusetts continued to expand, although at a slower rate than the rest of the country, until by 1860 it had become the second most densely populated state in the nation.
